I want to set the 'custom thumbnails' to be the first media that is pulled from posts, but the issue is that not all media has a custom thumbnail set, so when I do that the rest of the posts will show the placeholder image for custom thumbnails, instead of 'first imagest from content'. I tried to go to the direct posts and remove the placeholder link but it just resets when I leave it blank. Is there any solution for this?
Welcome to our forum
#1. you can sort media source by dragging so if you place "First images from content" at the top to priority first and so on.
#2. if you don't want display empty images (placeholder) you can unchecked.

Let me know for more help.

Thanks for your reply, if you set custom thumbnail you need to set thumbnail source for each post , please see the screenshot , Can you please bring down “Empty thumbnail” at bottom (click and drag to down) and save.
Right now I have ‘custom thumbnail’ first, and ‘first image’ second. I unchecked ’empty thumbnail’ , but it still shows the empty thumbnails. here’s a screenshot of the posts: http://imgur.com/a/CbFtI and a screenshot of my settings: http://imgur.com/a/csQLh It’s still doing it
